Chapter 19: The pit is the Zhang family

Yizhuang has many functions, but Xu's Yizhuang has only one function, and that is a place to store coffins. Of course, the coffin will not be empty, there are corpses in the coffin, most of them have not found a good place to bury for a while, or the deceased has died in a foreign country, and the family is ready to be transported back to the country for burial, or the poor have to be temporarily stored in Yizhuang.

There are many ways to do the best deeds in the world, and the father and son of the Xu family can be regarded as unique in doing good deeds, and they directly started to do good deeds in Yizhuang.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Yizhuang is not allowed to be opened in the city, can only be opened in the suburbs, but Qiantang County is a prosperous county, the city wall built decades ago has long been unable to accommodate the increasing urban population, so even in the suburbs, it is still prosperous and lively. The father and son of the Xu family did not violate the law when they opened Yizhuang here.

It's just that this era is more superstitious, as soon as I hear the word Yizhuang, it immediately makes people feel extremely unlucky, don't say that it is now, even in the future generations, if someone's house is to plan a funeral parlor or garbage dump nearby, I am afraid that I will go crazy.

Everyone suddenly realized that this was Yizhuang, and naturally retreated, for fear that this bad luck would touch them.

But then again, opening a righteous village is indeed a good deed, after all, even if good people do good deeds, most of them are just opening factories and giving porridge and dying, after all, there are not too many people willing to take care of Qiantang, where it is located in Tianjin, there are often merchants, tourists who are dying, and people who die in foreign lands can not be buried on the spot, so they can only temporarily store the corpse and wait for their families to come from thousands of miles away to deal with the aftermath.

Xu Qian was full of pity, and repeatedly talked about his psychological journey of doing good deeds, what the road saw the guest die, the stranger had nowhere to bury, and was carried out by the inn, how he struggled in the wilderness, how he made up his mind, and finally got the support of Master Huang, and praised him.

After saying so much, a team of hired musicians lined up together, and Xu Qian raised his hand and shouted: "Have fun!" ”

Suddenly, the suona and the gong sounded suddenly, and the mournful music came out of the miserable and miserable note, which suddenly made people think of the scene of countless people wearing linen and filial piety, such as mourning, if there were a few more earth-shattering weeping, it would be more perfect.

There were naturally a lot of people from the Zhang family in the crowd, and the Zhang family had been paying attention to the Xu family father and son, but because they were too focused, they didn't expect the Xu family father and son to secretly cross Chen Cang and hit the idea to the abandoned inn opposite the Zhang family.

The inn has been abandoned for two years, so the cost is not high, but it still allows the Xu family father and son to take out almost all their savings, and this inn does not need to be repaired at all, it can be directly converted into Yizhuang, after all, Yizhuang does not need any decoration, just clean it and shelter from the wind and rain.

Several of the Zhang family's men were crowded in the crowd, stunned, looking at each other, and their jaws were about to fall.

Where is this Kaiyizhuang, it's just a pit person.

It's really bad luck to run to the door of someone's mansion to open a righteous village.

More importantly, what kind of family background is the dignified Zhang family? If people know that other people's bodies are parked at the door, and such a mourning music is played every once in a while, there are often people wearing linen and filial piety carrying coffins to walk in front of the door, does this family still have a face? What else do you want to gain a foothold in Qiantang?

It is placed next to a new real estate in the future, and if there is a funeral parlor, the house price will have to be cut by at least half, let alone this era. The Zhang family's newly built house costs a lot, and it is impossible to say that they will move away. What's more, if the Zhang family really moved away, wouldn't they laugh at other people's big teeth?

So......

Several disciples exchanged glances, and they were about to go to report, but at this time, someone came on a fast horse, but it was Deng Jian, who was dressed as a guard and carrying a knife at his waist.

Deng Jian is particularly high-spirited today, he enjoys this feeling of being in the spotlight the most, and the Xu family father and son did not explain what kind of good deeds they were doing, but in his understanding, the so-called good deeds are nothing more than soup porridge, and it is not a bad thing for him to come to the scene at the behest of Xu Qian.

But halfway through his spirits, he was stunned when he saw that although there were many people in front of him, they were all hiding from afar, and when he heard the bursts of mourning.

What's going on?

Deng Jian suddenly realized that this field was not easy to rush.

But now that he is entrusted by others, he can only stiffen his head, and immediately step forward to look at this scene again, and suddenly confirm his guess, he frowned bitterly, and couldn't help scolding in his heart: "If it weren't for the debt of ten taels of silver, Uncle Deng wouldn't have been killed and wouldn't have touched this bad luck, just lose the festival today, and go hard." ”

He stepped forward with his burden on his back and immediately said: "Congratulations, congratulations, I was shocked to hear that Xu Bantou and Xu Xiaoguan have accumulated virtue and done good, and the villain has been entrusted to come to send congratulatory gifts." ”

After that, Deng Jian untied the burden, but a plaque was revealed, the plaque was not big, and the onlookers from afar couldn't see what words were written on it, but Xu Qian bowed to Deng Jian very solemnly, and said: "How dare the villain bear such a heavy gift?" also asked Brother Deng to go back and tell the nobleman that he was favored and the villain was ashamed. ”

Xu Qian took the plaque and hurriedly asked someone to hang it, the height of the plaque was still on the top of the Jishan family written by Master Huang, and everyone looked at the plaque with their eyes fixed, and the words "Virtue and Kindness Help the World" were written.

The good deeds could not help but talk about it.

"The giver looked at him like a prince and a guard."

"Yes, I recognize him, his surname is Deng Mingjian, and he is indeed working in the prince's mansion."

"The person surnamed Deng claimed to have come to give gifts entrusted by nobles, could it be that the person who gave the gift was the prince? What kind of luck did this surnamed Xu go, and even the prince and prince cheered them on. ”

"Just now, that Xu Xiaoguan called this gift-giver a nobleman, presumably it must be the prince."

"Nonsense, if it's not for the prince, why would he hang this plaque on the top of Master Huang's book? If this person is not noble, how can he suppress Master Huang, there is no need to guess that it is the prince. ”

A good deed actually hooked out several big Buddhas on the land of Qiantang County, which was even more confusing.

Xu Qian looked at the plaque on the face of the door with crossed hands, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, where was this sent by the prince? At all, he played with an empty glove, the white wolf plaque was customized by himself, he didn't say that this was a gift from the prince, he only said that it was a nobleman, and he just asked Deng Jian to come to give gifts.

However, Xu Qian and Deng Jian's every move made everyone believe in the plaque given by the prince, so many people thought that there must be more gossip waiting to be excavated here, and one by one they were more interested.

Several disciples of the Zhang family couldn't bear it anymore and quickly returned to Zhang's mansion to report the news.

The noise and mourning on the street, even if the Zhang family is a high-walled compound, has already been heard clearly, Zhang Taigong is very irritable, at first I only thought that someone's family died, the funeral procession went this way, who knows that this mourning music has no sign of stopping at all, but more and more energetic, encountering this kind of thing, Zhang Taigong is even more annoyed, and hurriedly called the steward Zhang to explain, just about to ask the reason, he heard the door coming quickly.

"Something is wrong, master!"

"Bastard!" Zhang Taigong was furious.

The more taboos people like him, the more they heard the mourning, and now some people say that something is wrong, Mrs. Zhang is already old, and he is about to be beaten with a cane.

Menzi was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and hurriedly said: "Our Zhang family opened Yizhuang on the other side of the door, and said that after doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, we would take in those who abandoned the wilderness...... ......"

Menzi didn't dare to say anything later.

Zhang Taigong was stunned at first, and then he was furious, he only now understood what was going on with this mourning, the dare lover's family was not passing by, but planned to take root in front of his own door for three days and play this at two ends?

After being stimulated by such a big stimulus, Zhang Taigong suddenly felt that his eyes were a little blurry, his head was swollen, and his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't exhale, so he hurriedly covered his chest, stretched out his hand, and said with difficulty: "Xiang...... Incense ......"
